What happens when you stick a camera into an EasyStar? Watch and see

I had quite a lot of fun sunday with my EasyStar and a video camera.... It does pretty good actually, I thought it wouldn't have such a nice picture quality Very Happy

Nice footage.
How long have you been flying?

For about a year... This plane crashed into a tree 6-9 months ago, and bought the rudder lost in the fight saturday, so it's been a long time, and I've still got a lot to learn Smile

Ehh, thats a pretty good camera,,no crazy overexposure when pointed at the sun,,and you can see it as a gas giant.

Cool vid,,gotta get some loops in there and spirals twoards the ground next time,,make everyone yack on there keyboards. Very Happy

Get some downward airspeed then pull back for your loop,,pretty cool on vid when it is done right. Of course, altitude is your friend before that.

I have one of these keyfob spy cameras that I am going to tape under the wing next to the cockpit.

Thanks, I appreciate the comment Smile

However, I don't like doing loops with a good quality camera up there... And getting altitude is really difficult when the plane is badly centered...

I'm normally buying another cam, a lighter one to install on this bird Smile

What a beautiful place to fly, I love the footage. I usually detest music accompaniment to videos, but that was great. One of the best songs the Who ever did, Maximum R&B, featuring everything they do best, from Daltry to Kieth Moon, the most passionate Rock drummer ever.... sorry, I get carried away about that.

I need to buy myself a toy R/C plane and see if I can learn to fly it. I love control line, but it's just a whole different sport, Videos like that make me want to soar... and seek out massive black holes! Biplane
